5* prices, 3/4* service
Great location, great room but definitely doesn't have the feeling of a 5* hotel when I comes to service. Check in was functional rather than pleasant and massively understaffed in the Observatory so waited 25 mins before getting our order taken followed by getting hit with a 10% "service" charge. No heating in the room either, phoned reception 3 times before getting an answer but didn't really care so a cool night it was! Check out no more pleasant, a hasty "you're all paid up, thank you" and away you go. 5* prices, 3/4* service at best unfortunately

Really a 4 star that is still figuring things out. 1. Upon checkin they gave me a room that was on the lowest floor that looked out to the roof and mechanical devices. The floor smelt, but they were able to clean that after being notified. 2. Hours later I was able to move to a higher floor and the new room did not have any hand soap, the entire jar was missing so there was just a hole where the jar was supposed to be. I notified the reception and they said they would send it right up. Three hours later, still no hand soap. I went for dinner and notified them I still hadn’t received hand soap. A few hours later I returned from dinner and once again there was no hand soap. I finally received a knock on the door 5.5-6 hours after requesting soap only to be handed an additional body wash jar and notified that the hotel had run out of soap and that “body wash” was practically the same. 3. I found a small baggy in the bedding. It was small and had a white residue inside (looked like Coke). I took a picture I was so shocked. 4. Tea and biscuits were not replenished after housekeeping. No coffee machine with espresso pods or anything. 5. Hotel was notified in advance it was my birthday and no card/upgrades/or anything (my next 4 star hotel at least gave me a card) 6. As an advertised five star these features were also not present: no turndown service, the room was not tidied during housekeeping & there was no doorman. If you want a Five Star experience - Try the Merchant.

Staff are generally not very well trained or managed. Bar staff kept bringing drinks that weren’t ours and took a 15 mins to bring our drinks at a quiet time. They then brought the bill after we’d had 2 rounds which was a little embarrassing because they clearly thought we were going to run off without paying. When I asked why we couldn’t keep the tab open the waiter said it was hotel policy. They could have take a preauthorisation if his was their policy. It’s not what you’d expect from a 4 or 5 star. But staff generally are poor. Parking facilities are a 10 minute walk away. Lifts were very busy at times.

The shower head sprayed water and the door didn’t close completely. The Observatory bar ran out of limes and didn’t cherries for drinks. The room charge function didn’t work in the bar. The 1st floor breakfast wasn’t very creative.

Complaint
I had 2 rooms booked and my room had a whining noise that made us get up and leave the room early as it was impossible to sleep in. We did complain on checkout and an apology was made but I don’t think she realised how irritating that had been and how it had ruined an otherwise lovely experience. I would like you to send me an email so I can send on video to show you how annoying that was for us.
